The annual spectacular Hong Kong Flower Show at Victoria Park will close at 9pm tomorrow (March 23). Members of the public who wish to see tens of thousands of blooming flowers at the event should grasp the last chance to visit.
After the show, flowers that are in good condition and suitable for replanting will be distributed to the public at 9am on March 24 at the park’s South Pavilion Plaza (near the Sugar Street entrance). It is estimated that about 3 500 pots will be distributed, subject to conditions of the plants. Each person will be given one pot only on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. To help protect the environment, members of the public are encouraged to bring their own bags.
